as far as this font is finished, it will be available for everyone interessed. Pfaedit allow to export to postscript binary for mac so it's probably possible to use it there. >My further understanding, again I could be wrong but I've looked into it, is >that postscript doesn't handle True-type fonts natively, but the level 3 >Postscript version of the language is capable of using the OS's underlying there is several ttf2pfa / pf* / ps utilities, so when the font is designed, it's not really a problem. The main problem is for key mapping, because in the case of application using ttf I guess they have their own key mapping (in fact I don't know I've only tried to use it for abc2win for now). Compared to font designing (even if it's not finished and some had to be redesigned), the mapping is not a piece of cake at all ! That's also why I wish to get rid of the ttf fonts in the future and concentrate more on type 1 fonts, but I have to learn more on them before that (I've downloaded some reference books from adobe). I think there is also some renaissance / medieval musical fonts packages available, but they are certainly for MusixTek or related. And I wanted to have fonts close to the one used in Orchesography (I'll check it but I think it's quite the same in Playford manuscript). It is planned also to have even several font designs, some manuscripts uses narrower notes, differents bass or treble key etc. ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en fran�ais !
